    Perfect. Thanks for the information.

    BIT 6 - Optical Drive Burn Test

    I'm currently only using the read test for the optical drive, but they want me to change it to the write test.

    I was curious though, does it make a difference if we write a CD or DVD. I noticed that Passmark has the option to do both.

    If we only do one, would that be a sufficient benchmark on whether or not the optical drive is able to burn disks in general? I just don't want to burn a CD and find the optical drive isn't able to burn DVDs and so on.

    As far as I understood though, if it's able to burn one type of disk, it's able to burn all that it's capable of.
Working...
